Innovation Academy:
- Our FIRST Robotics Team 1493 participated in a competition in Worcester, Massachusetts, during the weekend of March 8th. The competition served as the culmination of the club’s build season, during which the robot is designed and constructed. Team 1493 ultimately placed 15th out of 50. Congratulations to all involved!
Leadership Academy:
- Leadership is working with the Peace and Social Actions Club to make Albany High more environmentally friendly. The initiative encourages proper use of recycling bins, which are clearly labeled. AHS is paid for recycled content, and the effort goes a long way in making the planet cleaner.
